If you’re tired of wearing glasses or contact lenses and wish you could have clear vision without them, Seacoast Vision Care can help. Our skilled eye doctors offer LASIK and refractive eye surgery consultations in Scarborough, Maine to help you determine if LASIK eye surgery or another procedure is right for you. If you’re at least 18 years old, have good eye and general health, and have a stable prescription (for at least one year), you may be a good candidate for LASIK surgery.  

What is LASIK surgery?   

LASIK, short for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, is a popular type of refractive eye surgery that can correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During LASIK surgery, a laser is used to reshape the cornea, allowing light to focus properly on the retina. While there are other types of refractive eye surgeries available, LASIK is the most well-known due to its quick recovery time and high success rate. Our experts can help you decide which procedure may be right for you. 

Your refractive eye surgery consultation   

When you schedule a refractive eye surgery consultation at Seacoast Vision Care, our experienced team will walk you through the entire process step by step. First, we’ll perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK or another type of refractive surgery. We’ll check your eye health, take precise measurements of your eyes, and address any questions or concerns you might have about the procedure. We want to make sure you’re well-informed and feel confident in your decision. If we decide you’re a good candidate for refractive eye surgery, we will refer you to a trusted ophthalmologist near you for the procedure. 

What happens after LASIK surgery?   

After LASIK surgery, it’s important to give your eyes time to heal properly. At Seacoast Vision Care, we provide post-operative care services to help ensure a smooth recovery. During follow-up visits, we will examine your healing eyes and check on your improving vision. We’ll keep an eye on any possible side effects and give you tips on how to support your recovery at home.
